sabrinamariBig learning day here: a few of the lessons so far...
* Yes, I *can* stop myself from losing it/acting out when my brain falls out. There's still an adult in here.
* Really strong temptation today to just step into an emerging situation and fix it in a way that would be very easy for me, but not happy for Michael. Further, Michael is correct in having reservations. Successfully managed to do the right thing instead of the easy thing---and oh gods, I really wanted to do the easy thing---and I even managed to communicate clearly and lovingly about it all to everyone involved. Go me!
* Still managing to get some work done despite the many opportunities for personal growth that keep emerging around me. Am even laughing about it. Dratted personal growth! You make it so difficult to simply get work done!
* Lots of small victories today, mostly consisting of the frequent realization that the sky is gloriously blue and cloudless, unless I choose to put clouds there. That's Pema talk for the observation that most of my angst is self-created, and I can choose to simply release it anytime I wish.
Not bad for most of a day's learning.
